My Year in Cities 2010

So maybe I should have done this on 1.1.11. or 12.31.10. But I didn't.  I was inspired by an semi-old post.  I spent 1 or more nights in the following cities in 2010 (this should be lame):

Baltimore, MD

Jarrettsville, MD
Cambridge, MD
Deep Creek Lake, MD

Seaside Park, NJ

Englewood, NJ

New York, NY

Outer Banks, NC

Norwalk, CT

Elizabethtown, PA

Philadelphia, PA

Grantham, PA

I was only in 10 different places and only on the East Coast. 

Lame.  I am hopeful for 2011.

New years' non-goals...OK and resolutions

I guess when a new year begins, you are supposed to come up with a list of resolutions for the new year.  Maybe not a list, maybe just one...i bet the most popular new years resolution is losing weight or perhaps a generic "spend more time with family or friends."  These are all good...they are.  and I hope that I am able to do these things too in 2011.  But I was recently inspired by this gal's non-goals...very creative - love the idea so much I will share my own - actually mine weren't necessarily things i love about myself, but i guess things i gave myself credit for doing in 2010:

1. Blogging:  Something about blogging is very refreshing.  It's like sharing thoughts and slightly diary-ish, but not.  or maybe just venting on paper.  I think since September, I've blogged at least twice a week, if not every day.  and i like random thoughts and fragments.  and talking slang, but not ghetto.  and putting a lowercase i instead of I.  Horray.
2. Fill the DVR every week:  well, almost.  I will continue to watch as much TV as I want.  That's why I pay for the bloody cable box.
3. That girl praised herself for brushing her teeth every night before she went to bed, so I will too.  If you don't you are nast. foul.
4. Hug my little niece often:   ok, well maybe this one doesn't count bc how can you resist this little ball of cuteness?! 
5. Tweet.  I like Twitter alot.  and i brought it back this year.
6. Drink coffee every day.  This is a good habit and don't tell me otherwise.
7. Wear sweatpants often.  This is also a good habit.  Although slightly sloppy, they are sooo worth it.
8. Not obsesssing about germs.  I can't stand people that do the paper towl thing in the bathroom and don't touch things with germs on them.  Get over it.  Only the strong survive.

Yo don't stress - Here are my goals for 2011.

1. Wear my hair down more often.  This is bold.  I never wear my hair down bc, first of all - so annoying.  secondly, it takes way too long to manage in the morning bf work and I'd rather get to work 10 minutes early.  third, when i wear my hair down at work, so many people comment, oooooo, your hair is so long.  what are you supposed to say?!  yep. the end. or nope. liar. or thanks, but not really. or duuhh. retard.
2. Paint my nails one time this year.  I think the last time I did was when I was interviewing for a job after college. But it was only the clear stuff.  Maybe it wil be my toenails, maybe fingernails *gasp* why am i saying this?!
3. Compete in a race.  This one is pending a healthy ankle.  I hope, I pray, but only time will tell.  I really wanna do a triathalon.  Even though I suck at swimming.
4. Travel this summer.  I want to travel outside of the USofA.  Any good ideas?  Anyone wanna come?
5. Cook more often.  and by this i mean, wholesome meals.  like fish and vegetables or venison and couscous.  not egg-white breakfast sandwiches every freaking night, and morning, and afternoon.
6. Make more of an effort to visit friends and family.  I have no excuse for not.
7. Play more scrabble.  I am addicted to online scrabble.  scrabble is an educational game though.  it is.
8. Drink more water.  I am dehydrated all the time.  Let's change this for 2011.
9. Go see a movie in the theatres.  I cannot remember the last movie that I have seen in the theatres.  I never go.  I used to fall asleep.  It is kinda a waste of money, but I always see the movie previews and say, i wanna see that.  and then. i. never. do.
10. Complete P90X...again.  it's fierce!  I dare you to try.

What are your New Year's Resolutions?  hny.

2010 Year in Review

3 more days until 2011...yikes!  I can't believe I'm saying this, but where did 2010 go?  Let's review and remember good and bad times of O-ten.  January, February, March - who knows what really goes on in those months.  My life was humdrum and I lived at work.  Ahhh, but when April rolls around, I'm a new woman, I mean girl, especially when I see all of my Messiah teammates on alumni game day.  {btw, how is that even fair? best team in the country, fit, practicing every day, vs. older, slower, once a year-has beens}  In May - USA all the way (!) for World Cup 2010, but as expected they failed miserably.  {I started my quest of getting ripped in 90 days.}  In June, my church softball team was o-so-close to winning the annual church softball tournament.  My niece also celebrated her 1st birthday.  One of my roommates at the time moved out in July {tear}.  I was very sad to see her go, but didn't mind the cats going with her.  yesssss.  August always begins with a great week of soccer camp at Messiah.  I get to train with a bunch of champions!  Shortly after, I finished up P90X and was ripped - I'm talking washboard abs, girlfriend!  yessss.  September was a very eventful month.  I went to the Jersey Shore for a mini vaca.  My car broke down, so I bought a new car.  I went to my first NFL game in New York (Jets v. Ravens opening day).  I ruined my ankle and September started a 3 or 4 month period of lying on the couch and watching TV.  Luckily, I started coaching soccer again at Loyola University - the women's club team...and the best yet, I started blogging again.  yessss.  October - the Phillies failed to make the World Series, but I loved every moment of the playoffs {including Doc Halliday's no-hitter}.  yessss.  In November sadly, I said goodbye to 2 roommates, but excitedly welcomed 2 new ones.  yessss.  Sheesh - December is almost over now.  Messiah men's soccer won an NCAA championship (AGAIN) and MWS was robbed of theirs.  The Phillies signed Cliff Lee.  Yessss.  There you have it...in a nut shell.  I need a solid and challenging list for nineteen ninety...*Gasp*  I mean, TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN!
